The best way to experience Quito - What an excellent experience. Our 2 guides were happy to share all their knowledge and so flexible that our intended 4-hour tour lasted 8-hours. They take you safely through all of Quito’s highlights. Just buy them lunch & coffee

Great day exploring the city - Quito Bike Tours did a wonderful job on our day out! Things were well organized, and we really felt we got a good sense of the city with interesting sights and information received from our guide. Our guide and an additional staff member were attentive, friendly, and made our safety a high priority as we traveled through the city streets. One of the co-owners also went above and beyond towards the end of our day, helping us get back to our hotel and then later arranging transport to the airport (including a stop to pick up some delicious local food en route). All in all, very professionally run, a very tourist-friendly outfit- would highly recommend to those with a bit of time in their schedule to explore the city!
